Re: [Rails] Why do I see includes often named with the suffix "able" in model files?

Ruby on Rails Thursday, February 15, 2018

I believe suffix is generally used when you're using polymorphic associations (for example, you may have Comment model that belongs_to :commentable). In DHH's video, I believe it's the case, because recordable is most likely used for variety of models in BC3.

Is this a naming convention that's being utilized?  I also see other variations being used, such as "ed", but mostly it seems to be "able".  I'm currently refactoring code and would like to understand this more so I can possibly adopt the approach in my own projects.

An example is the following from @dhh in his new videos he's been posting on Youtube here.


class MessagesController < ApplicationController
  include SetRecordable, BucketScoped
  # ...
end


Thanks!
